Lorentz ether theory

What is nowadays called Lorentz Ether theory (also Lorentz's theory of electrons, Lorentzian electrodynamics or The New Mechanics) was the final point in the development of the classical aether theories at the end of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century. The theory was developed particularly by Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincaré and evolved into special relativity with the works of Albert Einstein and Hermann Minkowski.
